Did you know that Cleopatra teamed up with the Woman King to help end slavery in England after receiving a call for help from all the black nobles in Bridgerton? The rap battle between the Kleo Krew and Queenie Vic was epic!! My grandmother told me not to let evidence tell me otherwise.
Granny do be lying though 😂the old people have argued about a lot of things in the past, but never about colour. It's just crazy that they're arguing with the same Egyptians they're making a series about
I love how in those femminist shows, the main female protagonist is perfect in every way, extremely powerful, but at the same time the most opressed human being that ever lived.
Some women think they're the sun and everyone else is there to either reflect their brilliance or cast shadows. Those women deserve a good punch in the face to snap them back to reality.
And yet they'd need us to make a 5 part movie series to explain why a man is powerful, because men being powerful is automatically oppression or he must have gotten the power illegitimately 😂 😂 woke media is the swamp that really needed to be drained.

Will Smith was named after one of his ancestors, Will Shakespeare. Four historians have been found, who have explained that his mother originally came from Africa. She actually wrote ‘ Othello’. Over time, Will’s work has been altered by wicked people who eliminated every trace of his heritage. We have never heard, for example, ‘ Yo ! Hamlet ! Wassup ?’. However, Jada might be planning to publish the real, version soon.
@@petegarnett7731 Yes. 🙂 If not for Iago winding him up a bit, Othello wouldn’t have stupidly thought that Desdemona his wife was a no good ho because she’d mislaid her hankerchief, then lost all impulse control and brutally throttled her.
What's funny is that Assassin's Creed Origins was way more accurate than the so called "documentary" regarding how people (Egyptians, Greeks, & Romans) looked, dressed, and interacted with each other, the game creators had more due diligence than the "documentary" with 5 experts 😒
@Ggggggfefdff It only seems right when you see the work of Netflix 😁 And btw, their Cleopatra looked more Egyptian than Greek, but they didn't call it a documentary, so no one cared 😉
I don't like certain liberties the assins creed devs take But they openly work with historians and it shows the main templar storyline is fake off course but pretty much all assassin's Creed games before odessy where for the most part historically accurate with some liberties token here and there The accuracy in black flag assassin's Creed 3 2 and 1 is actually kind of amazing
As an Egyptian thank you so much for this video and for your amazing review. I am so happy that I see more and more people are clearly seeing the afro-centric agenda behind this movie. This is why the Egyptians are mad. They want to strip Cleopatra from her Heritage and her ethnicity. They want to depict all Egyptians with sub-Saharan features. They call the native Egyptians invaders, intruders and colonizers. Shredding this trash mockumentary into pieces by you warmed my heart. My Greetings and my best wishes to you from Egypt.
Sorry this is happening to your culture and history. Somebody watched this so that we don't need to stated that all the good people in this show is all sub Saharan. The one main villain is, well, Egyptian. Talk about blasphemy.
History in general should never be re-written in such a disrespectful way as it was in this so-called "docuseries." It honestly is starting to restore my faith in humanity more and more to see that falsifying history is more than problematic. Egypt has such an interesting history and culture even after the ancient time periods. Hollywood truly is full of scum.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.-George Orwell
While the quote is fitting, i think our current timeline fits better with Brave New World, what with smothering of truth by burying it on tons of inane 'information' and silencing the truth messenger with often pointless opinion of the masses.
I only just discovered this bloke with his break down of true detective. He said retarded half a dozen times in the first few minutes and called the two female leads cunts. Subscribe and shared. 😂❤😂
“I don’t care what they tell you in school; the Holocaust never happened.” See how when you flip the roles I sound like the worst person ever and everyone loses their minds.
We can also play their BS against them. Ancient Egyptians are black and also the furthest back known civilisation that had mass slavery in their culture.
That's actually what an african american was trying to push for on Twitter, that slavery didn't exist before 900 AD. His argument is that the word "slave" comes from the slav tribe, enslaved in ~900 AD. And therefore there couldn't have been slavery before, since the word didn't exist... *facepalms*
this becomes even more Hilarious when you realize that Asterix and Obelix ( the French Cartoon about two Gauls that fight against Romans) have a better and more accurate depitcion of Cleopatra
Even Cleopatra Jones is way better than Netflix version of Cleopatra. I realized that whoever said Cleopatra was black, must have watched Cleopatra Jones instead of Cleopatra 1966.
They're not just disrespecting Egyptian culture. They're also disrespecting Greek legacy because they're erasing Cleopatra's hellenistic upbringing. Alexandria was a hellenic city but they didn't even show it in the film. They also portray Egypt as dry desert area most of the time, including in big cities, when actually big cities were fertile & lush because they were either located near the Red Sea or Nile river.
and also disrespecting Rome. Like "look at the big bad evil white colonizer". Hello people, Cleopatra became queen thanks to a roman, and there were egyptians who ultimately preffered to side with Rome than with her. Hell, her very own dynasty was established through military conquest.
centuries of muslim rule turned Egypt into a wilderness with nothing but ruins. it took Europeans arriving in the 19th century onwards to rebuild it. happily for Egypt, the British stayed on for a while ( 1956) to help.. that and the Suez Canal ofc . most important canal in the world
They disrespect so many peoples. Africans, Greeks, Egyptians, Carthagians, Romans/Italians, Arabs and other mixed cultures there. Imagine disrespecting so many people with this tv show. And not even showing the right stuff.
My grandma used to say “I don’t care what they tell you in school, Gandhi was an African who went to India to save them but not an Indian who came to Africa!” Such wise words, hope Netflix makes a documentary about Gandhi and his African heritage.
Another video pointed out how few critic reviews there actually are, since this show went so far beyond the pale with its distortions it's safer for them to say nothing at all rather than try to defend this, or get lambasted by the creators if they criticize it.

The worst part by far about this show was that Professor Shelley Haley - she represents the completely narcissistic, virulent putrid pissed off feminist that is interested in one thing and one thing alone: put everybody else down because she is constantly pissed off about past injustices, and instead of demonstrating any sense of honor or respect, act snarky and sarcastic. They trust no one but themselves and become the monsters they claim everyone else is.
@@silentterrorhawk It's called logical thinking and critical thinking. You don't have to be rocket engineer to understand it's not just. Only thing you need is higher IQ ration than 70.
The real accolade is getting called out by native people in another country for wrongfully portraying them, their cultures & their history, then responding to them with “you’re brainwashed.”
Native people? Do you know when Cleopatra was born? It was 70 BCE she died in 30 BCE. The Arab invasion happoened in 639 AD. That was so many years after she died. You guys really need to pick up a book or 2
The fact that "Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra" is not only a better movie but probably more historically-accurate than this documentary is kind of sad.
@@jodo2785 YES, the leading actress.I don't remember if it was her directly or commenting that she totally agreed with a person who had published that, referring to those who criticized her.
Wait a second, that "I don't care what they tell you in school" woman is an actual college professor, of Africana studies no less? And here I was thinking they just pulled some random dumb person to spout nonsense. How does someone who works in education say that and not immediately feel ashamed?
unfortunately when it comes to 'africana studies' in America, that's the only kind of person you can find for such a department... since they specialize in made up bullshit. Real professors specialize in the specific distinct regions of Africa and don't pretend like 'Africa' is a single country, because ever a cursory look into the subject makes it impossible for most of what 'afrocentrism' pushes to be even remotely plausible.
Should tell you everything when you read "Africana studies" This is the standard behavior for "black intellectuals" in the US and even many of the regular ones. They pass around nonsense revisionist takes of history where they claim to be both the Egyptians, and the Moors. Not simply a part of the population, they just say they were ALL black, period. They even like to see themselves as arabs in an attempt to cope with how goofy it is to follow islam when the greatest African slave trade took place under the arabs and was accompanied by the forced circumcision of the slaves (which of course lead to many deaths due to infections) 2) Universities exclusively pander to ultra left wing schizo shit and trying to harm a black professor would arouse every activist nutjob around to protest and aside from that she might have tenure making her immune.
Excellent review. Things I dislike about this whole affair: 1. The Blackwashing, the attempt at erasing the culture of an ancient nation, the blatant ignoring of historical facts. 2. The expression "melanated sister" wtf? Except for those afflicted with albinism, all humans are "melanated." 3. The stupid Cleopatra dance (do those seizure like movements look feminine or seductive to ANYBODY?)
This is typical of uneducated ethnocentrics, they make up outlandish shit and claim it as fact. Seriously, the one hag apparently had a dream in which she spoke to Cleopatra.😂
If anything That "dance" isn't Egyptian lol, it has a strong sub Saharan vibe to me further proves my theory that pinkett smith wanted Egyptians to view themselves as not Africans but Sub-saharan Africans.
I haven't seen the show, but your analysis tells everything there is to know, all the while being super hilarious! Professor: "I'm not gonna study you. I'm not gonna study you." Reaper: "And it looks like you never did." 😂
I watched two episodes and I stopped, it was too bad and cringy. "most powerful woman in the world marrying the most powerful man and thus creating a most powerful child in the world" BS 😅
Well, we all know Taylor's Cleopatra was b0llocks but at least it was enjoyable - the costumes fabulous and the whole film a "luxury" experience in which to wallow. That anyone ever thought Taylor resembled a Greek/Macedonian is a laughable idea, but critically, as everyone points out when this issue is raised - it wasn't a "documentary" but a movie purely for entertainment.
And she did her own makeup, and it looks somewhat accurate. Netflix Cleopatra wears Sephora grade glitter and keeps sayng "ok". The anachronisms make me cringe
The depiction of Anthony and Octavian was absolutely shameful too. While Anthony was kind of a brute and not the greatest strategist he was very militarily competent and certainly a hundred times more than Cleopatra. Octavian hating Cleopatra somehow and being cartoonishly evil is beyond ridiculous too.
Octavian being derisive of Cleopatra isn't really that out of the question. After all she seduced a Roman and tried to make him break up with his wife. They would take issue with that and it's possible that this played a role in the decision to get rid of Julius. The delivery in this series seems a bit... stupid though.
@@kaltaron1284 He definetly played on that. There were propaganda efforts to portray Anthony has bewitched by some eastern sorceress and straying from his roman-ness. But that doesn't mean that Octavian was some rabid racist, it just means he's a good politician and conservative with traditional values like all other romans.
@@Свободадляроссии I wouldn't call him racist and didn't. Conservative and nationalistic for sure. And for extra spice Anthony's wife was Octavian's sister. Caeser had a wife too and that's what I was referring to. So to correct my earlier statement: "After all she seduced two married Romans and at least Ceasar was (allegedly) trying to break up with his wife.
Considering Octavian went on to be arguably the greatest emperor in roman history I agree. Italy ought to join the conga line and sue netflix for that depiction. I think theyd have a solid argument since this drivel is being presented as historical fact.
As someone who completed my university studies, spent hundreds of hours studying and working on history and archeology of ancient near east... it baffles me how these so called "professors" came with such statements and why they are allowed to teach with their biased mental gymnastics.
The Dutch archeologic team were thrown out of Egypt for blackwashing last week. They had the right to work on that site since 1975, all that is gone now because some woke students who have never been near America and know nothing about our own history wanted to show how woke they are and how not-racist, so they made up some bullshit. The professors knew and were involved too. This means that all the scienticic records are contaminated and that means 47 years of research and millions gone down the drain. But hey, Dutch professors and students are woke. On a side-note, boys as young as six are getting hormone-treatment to be transitioned to girls, and their parents are praised by our government. That is the Netherlands these days.
None of this makes sense....until you realize we are living under cultural Marxism with globalists in full control. These globalists have been kicked out of over 100 countries throughout history, due to their tricks and mischief.
As an Englishman I remember my Nan saying to me growning up "I don't care what your school teaches you about Cleopatra, sit down and watch this British historical film: Carry on Cleo!" Tell you everything you need to know about ancient Egypt....You're welcome people!
I loved that time when Brendan Fraser played Martin Luther King Jr. and refused to give up she/her's seat in the back of the bus on the way to the million latinx march in Canada.
Cleopatra was quite intelligent, but she also realized what her place was and she was pretty pragmatic about it. And honestly I respect that. Making the best out of what you got and so on. Chances are that Caesar liked her and would have married her if he wasnt already in a pretty valuable political marriage, the dissolution of which would have brought a quick end to his power. And Mark Anthony was literally out of the hope that he might install her son as the ruler of Rome or at least the Heir of Caesar (and subsequent dislike of Octavian) or at least legitimize him as the ruler of Egypt. She was on the back foot the entire time and had to hope that she was able to convince more powerful men to help her, its the ancient times, people, thats just how it went back in the day Maria Theresa, another great example for a mighty female Ruler literally only inherited because she was the only heir and the Emperor changed the law to allow for the last straw of "If NOONE else is left among the Habsburgs to take the throne, then a Woman is fine too I guess". And he went through insane lengths to convice people to accept this notion he himself most likely wasnt a big fan of either.
Yeah most of that is true. But its 2023 and you cant tell a story on netflix where the female protagonist is reliant on the men in her life for anything. Even if it would be historically accurate for most of human history including much of the modern era. But obviously a documentary is no place for historical accuracy even if her cunning manipulation of those men would be a more compelling story and display of her political and intellectual talents. Its just too far against the modern narrative to praise a woman for utilising her femininity and beauty to rise to any position of power and respect that the real story of cleopatra was never going to see the light of day in modern hollywood. Again. Having to tell the story of a woman who ****ed her way to greater power and influence than she ever could have achieved on her own and literally tried to baby trap a man doesnt really fall in line with modern feminism. Lol
I feel like the actual history of Cleopatra makes her so much more impressive to me. Like after reading this comment and watching some legitimate tellings of her story I find what she actually had to do keep power more impressive than superwoman
Yeah Reaper definitely over-simplifies her life in this video when he says "all she had was her p****", but I suspect he did that to trigger feminists and history revisionists, and I support that whole-heartedly.
“but she also realized what her place was” There’s no objective “place” that people have. And it’s quite disgusting to imply that. It’s like saying you would respect African American slaves for knowing “their place”. Being put in a certain position doesn’t mean that’s objectively one’s place.
"Gas these black negros!" "Motherfucka... the fuck you meeeean we can't make a progress on those tea seeping cunts!?" "Okay listen mfs, we are about to ally with these katana loving mfs on east!" "Ay Joseph... Stalin my negro... I was just fucking with you maan... cmon! Ain't no way you're still mad about it!? Cmon ni**a!"
“I have asked Egyptians to see themselves as Africans” They already do. You’re telling them to view themselves as Sub-Saharan Africans. They don’t. They shouldn’t. And they won’t.
Britain celebrates it's neolithic history and you don't get British people trying to claim they were Romans, who were far more advanced that Britons were back then. Cultural appropriation of this level just speaks insecurity. It's just a fact that there were vast technological and cultural differences between parts of the world throughout history. It varies, Britain was tribal when Ancient Egypt were building megalithic structures and living far more civilised lifestyles, since then Britain completly outpaced Egypt in terms of development and technology level. There's nothing wrong with taking pride in all levels of technologically achievement and admiring the differences between cultures. But when you try to claim another cultures achievements as your own then it's just plain wrong.
14:15 Actually her AND Mark fled from the battle. The thing was, Mark did the Hero thing, and stayed behind so her ship could flea. Most accounts just say that he couldn't make it though. I tend to think Cleopatra was pregnant with his child, and they were desperate to rule a kingdom. If anything is well documented, it is that; In despaire Anthony made a scuicide attempt and failed after he believed Cleopatra lost in that same battle. News soon reached Antony after his attempt, that Cleopatra was still alive, and they made plans to regroup. They reconciled and decided to flee together to Egypt. Their plan was to continue their resistance against Octavian, but they faced further defeats and the situation grew increasingly dire. In 30 BC, facing the prospect of capture by Octavian's forces, Mark Antony committed suicide by falling on his own sword. Cleopatra, devastated by Antony's death, also took her own life shortly thereafter. Cleopatra was sad to have tempted a nearby asp (extremely venomous snake) into biting her before the roman forces closed in. I am pretty sure given the width and breadth of histoirical context I have consumed on this exact moment in hisotry. Here's what really happeend; Warning, this is a bit speculative, but the vatican archives would either confirm or deny it should we ever have access. We need to think. Gaius Octavius personally oversaw this battle. He was the one to confirm Cleopatras death, announce that death to rome, and to the people of Egypt. .... Anthony caused a civil war back in rome when he did what he did, Gaius needed to fix that. He also needed Egypt to remain friendly. It was a very important strategic part of the ancient trade-route, without the goods flowing through there, the upper classes would grwo restless, and it woudl be even more chaotic in Rome. His solution, he ordered his men to capture them, went to a small dock with them both bound, and told his men to leave. There they had a conversation, and they decided the best course of action moving forward, was for anthony to fall on his own sword, and for cleopatra to drink poison. This absolves Rome from the blame for killing someone worshipped in Egypt for her beauty, this also deals a heavy moral blow to the ones back home who are proud supporters of Anthony. It essentially creates a scenarior where "it's like nothing happened" Now, why would they agree to this? Why not just kil them and dump them in the river? Weather it's 30 AD or 2023 AD, people aer just not that dumb. They would want proof from Octavia before they gave up their allegences, and accepted a sound defeat. If he framed it, he knew, getting caught doing so, from Rome's great history up to that point, that he would definetly create a full blown civil war, and this would go on for even longer. So, they agreed to it, because they really did love their peoplem, or because they wanted to be remembered well. Instead of drinkign poison, Cleopatra was bitten by an adder, instead of being told to kill himself after a humiliating defeat and capture, he fell on his sword with honor. In ancient times, this was the best they could have hoped for. They just as well could have been dragged to a public crucifixion. Their lie s and deciete exposed to everyone. How Mark betrayed rome for cleopatra, and cleopatra had betryed egypt for herself. How, all they really wanted was to rule, by any means necessary, and the many pieces of evidence that still exist today which prove they only cared about themselves the entire war. **gracefully bows**
Finally... I found someone who is willing to be blunt and straight to the point! Thank you, you have given me hope because your not afraid to say it the way it should be. Fucking well done!
Oh my god I laughed so hard at 14:30. What the hell did they do to Augustus? He's like a full-on serial killer creep. That has got to be the most absurd performance in a history documentary.
I'm so glad you are calling out the so called experts. Most videos I've seen on the topic talk about Jada's political agenda and poor attempt that deflecting blame but don't tackle the supposed scholars she brought to "prove" her re-imagined Cleopatra.
The woman at 10:38 looks and sounds like she's being forced to say the things she is saying, you can see in her facial expressions she doesn't believe a word of it and is in distress.
14:40 Fun fact Octavian placed Cleopatra's children by her and Mark Anthony into the care of his sister Octavia. She raised them alongside her own children and Octavian would later marry Cleopatra's daughter to King Juba II, a former ward of Julius Caesar.

Do these "historians" not realize that the Julian calendar was largely motivated to ensure the calendar was fixed to stay more aligned with growing seasons totally irrelevant in Egypt? And that the Egyptian calendar continued to have issues the Julian fixed, until Augustus forced calendar reforms upon them following Cleopatra's death? And it was Sosigenes of Alexandria (there's a hint somewhere in that name) who helped Julius with calculations?

As an Egyptian thank you so much for this video and for your amazing review. I am so happy that I see more and more people are clearly seeing the afro-centric agenda behind this movie. This is why the Egyptians are mad. They want to strip Cleopatra from her Heritage and her ethnicity. They want to depict all Egyptians with sub-Saharan features. They call the native Egyptians invaders, intruders and colonizers. Shredding this trash mockumentary into pieces by you warmed my heart. My Greetings and my best wishes to you from Egypt.
Sorry this is happening to your culture and history. Somebody watched this so that we don't need to stated that all the good people in this show is all sub Saharan. The one main villain is, well, Egyptian. Talk about blasphemy.
History in general should never be re-written in such a disrespectful way as it was in this so-called "docuseries." It honestly is starting to restore my faith in humanity more and more to see that falsifying history is more than problematic. Egypt has such an interesting history and culture even after the ancient time periods. Hollywood truly is full of scum.

We can also play their BS against them. Ancient Egyptians are black and also the furthest back known civilisation that had mass slavery in their culture.
That's actually what an african american was trying to push for on Twitter, that slavery didn't exist before 900 AD.
His argument is that the word "slave" comes from the slav tribe, enslaved in ~900 AD. And therefore there couldn't have been slavery before, since the word didn't exist... *facepalms*

You don't have to imagine it, there are already countless "professors" in colleges and universities that teach feelings over facts.
The fact that this feels like it should be a 1970s Blacksploitation film, but is meant to be a serious documentary, is truly hilarious.
this becomes even more Hilarious when you realize that Asterix and Obelix ( the French Cartoon about two Gauls that fight against Romans) have a better and more accurate depitcion of Cleopatra

Ya blacksploitation is the right word. I mean she was a great queen but all woke lies insults her legacy and Egypt at that time also.
They're not just disrespecting Egyptian culture. They're also disrespecting Greek legacy because they're erasing Cleopatra's hellenistic upbringing. Alexandria was a hellenic city but they didn't even show it in the film.
They also portray Egypt as dry desert area most of the time, including in big cities, when actually big cities were fertile & lush because they were either located near the Red Sea or Nile river.
and also disrespecting Rome. Like "look at the big bad evil white colonizer". Hello people, Cleopatra became queen thanks to a roman, and there were egyptians who ultimately preffered to side with Rome than with her. Hell, her very own dynasty was established through military conquest.

Wait a second, that "I don't care what they tell you in school" woman is an actual college professor, of Africana studies no less? And here I was thinking they just pulled some random dumb person to spout nonsense. How does someone who works in education say that and not immediately feel ashamed?
unfortunately when it comes to 'africana studies' in America, that's the only kind of person you can find for such a department... since they specialize in made up bullshit. Real professors specialize in the specific distinct regions of Africa and don't pretend like 'Africa' is a single country, because ever a cursory look into the subject makes it impossible for most of what 'afrocentrism' pushes to be even remotely plausible.
Agenda, front men/women
She’s clearly as senile as her grandmother was when the woman said that Cowshit!
Should tell you everything when you read "Africana studies" This is the standard behavior for "black intellectuals" in the US and even many of the regular ones. They pass around nonsense revisionist takes of history where they claim to be both the Egyptians, and the Moors. Not simply a part of the population, they just say they were ALL black, period. They even like to see themselves as arabs in an attempt to cope with how goofy it is to follow islam when the greatest African slave trade took place under the arabs and was accompanied by the forced circumcision of the slaves (which of course lead to many deaths due to infections)
2) Universities exclusively pander to ultra left wing schizo shit and trying to harm a black professor would arouse every activist nutjob around to protest and aside from that she might have tenure making her immune.
Excellent review. Things I dislike about this whole affair:
1. The Blackwashing, the attempt at erasing the culture of an ancient nation, the blatant ignoring of historical facts.
2. The expression "melanated sister" wtf? Except for those afflicted with albinism, all humans are "melanated."
3. The stupid Cleopatra dance (do those seizure like movements look feminine or seductive to ANYBODY?)
This is typical of uneducated ethnocentrics, they make up outlandish shit and claim it as fact. Seriously, the one hag apparently had a dream in which she spoke to Cleopatra.😂
Also whole woke washing the history. Emasculating the historical figures just like she did to her husband Will. 🤦
Melanated sister... Woketards obsession with skin color never ceases to amaze me
If anything That "dance" isn't Egyptian lol, it has a strong sub Saharan vibe to me further proves my theory that pinkett smith wanted Egyptians to view themselves as not Africans but Sub-saharan Africans.

@brcuellar625
That's being nice. These people are simply dumb and proud of it.
It is surprisingly very accurate, probably the most accurate telling of the story ever made.
Well, we all know Taylor's Cleopatra was b0llocks but at least it was enjoyable - the costumes fabulous and the whole film a "luxury" experience in which to wallow. That anyone ever thought Taylor resembled a Greek/Macedonian is a laughable idea, but critically, as everyone points out when this issue is raised - it wasn't a "documentary" but a movie purely for entertainment.
That's what woke IS.
And she did her own makeup, and it looks somewhat accurate. Netflix Cleopatra wears Sephora grade glitter and keeps sayng "ok". The anachronisms make me cringe
Funny how you can't draw a fictional character with slightly lighter skin, but a real historical figure can be "however you imagine her".
Twitter in a nutshell.
The double standards are real
The depiction of Anthony and Octavian was absolutely shameful too. While Anthony was kind of a brute and not the greatest strategist he was very militarily competent and certainly a hundred times more than Cleopatra.
Octavian hating Cleopatra somehow and being cartoonishly evil is beyond ridiculous too.
even worse, is that they do not make Cleopatras sluttyness a running joke like how it was in actual history
Octavian being derisive of Cleopatra isn't really that out of the question. After all she seduced a Roman and tried to make him break up with his wife. They would take issue with that and it's possible that this played a role in the decision to get rid of Julius.
The delivery in this series seems a bit... stupid though.
@@kaltaron1284 He definetly played on that. There were propaganda efforts to portray Anthony has bewitched by some eastern sorceress and straying from his roman-ness. But that doesn't mean that Octavian was some rabid racist, it just means he's a good politician and conservative with traditional values like all other romans.
@@Свободадляроссии I wouldn't call him racist and didn't. Conservative and nationalistic for sure. And for extra spice Anthony's wife was Octavian's sister.
Caeser had a wife too and that's what I was referring to.
So to correct my earlier statement: "After all she seduced two married Romans and at least Ceasar was (allegedly) trying to break up with his wife.
Considering Octavian went on to be arguably the greatest emperor in roman history I agree. Italy ought to join the conga line and sue netflix for that depiction. I think theyd have a solid argument since this drivel is being presented as historical fact.
As someone who completed my university studies, spent hundreds of hours studying and working on history and archeology of ancient near east... it baffles me how these so called "professors" came with such statements and why they are allowed to teach with their biased mental gymnastics.
Liberal colleges.
"Years of academy training, wasted!" - Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story
The Dutch archeologic team were thrown out of Egypt for blackwashing last week. They had the right to work on that site since 1975, all that is gone now because some woke students who have never been near America and know nothing about our own history wanted to show how woke they are and how not-racist, so they made up some bullshit. The professors knew and were involved too. This means that all the scienticic records are contaminated and that means 47 years of research and millions gone down the drain. But hey, Dutch professors and students are woke. On a side-note, boys as young as six are getting hormone-treatment to be transitioned to girls, and their parents are praised by our government. That is the Netherlands these days.

Cleopatra was quite intelligent, but she also realized what her place was and she was pretty pragmatic about it. And honestly I respect that. Making the best out of what you got and so on.
Chances are that Caesar liked her and would have married her if he wasnt already in a pretty valuable political marriage, the dissolution of which would have brought a quick end to his power.
And Mark Anthony was literally out of the hope that he might install her son as the ruler of Rome or at least the Heir of Caesar (and subsequent dislike of Octavian) or at least legitimize him as the ruler of Egypt.
She was on the back foot the entire time and had to hope that she was able to convince more powerful men to help her, its the ancient times, people, thats just how it went back in the day
Maria Theresa, another great example for a mighty female Ruler literally only inherited because she was the only heir and the Emperor changed the law to allow for the last straw of "If NOONE else is left among the Habsburgs to take the throne, then a Woman is fine too I guess". And he went through insane lengths to convice people to accept this notion he himself most likely wasnt a big fan of either.
Yeah most of that is true. But its 2023 and you cant tell a story on netflix where the female protagonist is reliant on the men in her life for anything. Even if it would be historically accurate for most of human history including much of the modern era. But obviously a documentary is no place for historical accuracy even if her cunning manipulation of those men would be a more compelling story and display of her political and intellectual talents. Its just too far against the modern narrative to praise a woman for utilising her femininity and beauty to rise to any position of power and respect that the real story of cleopatra was never going to see the light of day in modern hollywood. Again. Having to tell the story of a woman who ****ed her way to greater power and influence than she ever could have achieved on her own and literally tried to baby trap a man doesnt really fall in line with modern feminism. Lol
I feel like the actual history of Cleopatra makes her so much more impressive to me. Like after reading this comment and watching some legitimate tellings of her story I find what she actually had to do keep power more impressive than superwoman
Cleopatra irl - *literally had Caesar as her boyfriend*
Cleopatra in Netflix - *so I started blasting the whites*
Yeah Reaper definitely over-simplifies her life in this video when he says "all she had was her p****", but I suspect he did that to trigger feminists and history revisionists, and I support that whole-heartedly.
“but she also realized what her place was”
There’s no objective “place” that people have. And it’s quite disgusting to imply that. It’s like saying you would respect African American slaves for knowing “their place”.

Britain celebrates it's neolithic history and you don't get British people trying to claim they were Romans, who were far more advanced that Britons were back then. Cultural appropriation of this level just speaks insecurity. It's just a fact that there were vast technological and cultural differences between parts of the world throughout history. It varies, Britain was tribal when Ancient Egypt were building megalithic structures and living far more civilised lifestyles, since then Britain completly outpaced Egypt in terms of development and technology level. There's nothing wrong with taking pride in all levels of technologically achievement and admiring the differences between cultures. But when you try to claim another cultures achievements as your own then it's just plain wrong.
14:15
Actually her AND Mark fled from the battle.
The thing was, Mark did the Hero thing, and stayed behind so her ship could flea.
Most accounts just say that he couldn't make it though. I tend to think Cleopatra was pregnant with his child, and they were desperate to rule a kingdom.
If anything is well documented, it is that;
In despaire Anthony made a scuicide attempt and failed after he believed Cleopatra lost in that same battle.
News soon reached Antony after his attempt, that Cleopatra was still alive, and they made plans to regroup. They reconciled and decided to flee together to Egypt. Their plan was to continue their resistance against Octavian, but they faced further defeats and the situation grew increasingly dire. In 30 BC, facing the prospect of capture by Octavian's forces, Mark Antony committed suicide by falling on his own sword. Cleopatra, devastated by Antony's death, also took her own life shortly thereafter.
Cleopatra was sad to have tempted a nearby asp (extremely venomous snake) into biting her before the roman forces closed in. I am pretty sure given the width and breadth of histoirical context I have consumed on this exact moment in hisotry.
Here's what really happeend;
Warning, this is a bit speculative, but the vatican archives would either confirm or deny it should we ever have access.
We need to think. Gaius Octavius personally oversaw this battle. He was the one to confirm Cleopatras death, announce that death to rome, and to the people of Egypt.
.... Anthony caused a civil war back in rome when he did what he did, Gaius needed to fix that. He also needed Egypt to remain friendly. It was a very important strategic part of the ancient trade-route, without the goods flowing through there, the upper classes would grwo restless, and it woudl be even more chaotic in Rome.
His solution, he ordered his men to capture them, went to a small dock with them both bound, and told his men to leave. There they had a conversation, and they decided the best course of action moving forward, was for anthony to fall on his own sword, and for cleopatra to drink poison. This absolves Rome from the blame for killing someone worshipped in Egypt for her beauty, this also deals a heavy moral blow to the ones back home who are proud supporters of Anthony. It essentially creates a scenarior where "it's like nothing happened"
Now, why would they agree to this? Why not just kil them and dump them in the river? Weather it's 30 AD or 2023 AD, people aer just not that dumb. They would want proof from Octavia before they gave up their allegences, and accepted a sound defeat. If he framed it, he knew, getting caught doing so, from Rome's great history up to that point, that he would definetly create a full blown civil war, and this would go on for even longer.
So, they agreed to it, because they really did love their peoplem, or because they wanted to be remembered well. Instead of drinkign poison, Cleopatra was bitten by an adder, instead of being told to kill himself after a humiliating defeat and capture, he fell on his sword with honor.
In ancient times, this was the best they could have hoped for. They just as well could have been dragged to a public crucifixion. Their lie s and deciete exposed to everyone. How Mark betrayed rome for cleopatra, and cleopatra had betryed egypt for herself. How, all they really wanted was to rule, by any means necessary, and the many pieces of evidence that still exist today which prove they only cared about themselves the entire war.

14:40 Fun fact Octavian placed Cleopatra's children by her and Mark Anthony into the care of his sister Octavia. She raised them alongside her own children and Octavian would later marry Cleopatra's daughter to King Juba II, a former ward of Julius Caesar.
Not only that Caesarion was the only one killed due to being the child of Julius Caesar thus related to Ocatavian and so a possible political threat.
I’m so sad that Colleen Darnell got wrapped up in this rubbish. Her knowledge of all things Egyptian is usually on point, but I didn’t know that about her husband. Yikes. In fact this changes my view of them both a fair bit.
What an amazing review/case. Your frankness really won me over! 👏👏👏
It certainly should.
@@andreas956 I always thought they were somewhat chauvinists, but now I see why. They have to parade around to come across as being right. I feel sorry for the original Mrs Darnell.
I've always liked Colleen for her love of vintage fashion, but the pretentiousness over a Yale education always kind of repelled me. More-so now.
The obvious narcissism on her Instagram is enough to make me not want to follow her... 🤮
Lol, her "knowledge of all thing", sure bro XD Her knowledge on history that's much worse and pathetic than video games like Assasins Creed or comics like Asterix & Obelix. Not to mention her obvious narcissism.
To be fair, Colleen Darnell did an interview with an egyptian news channel were she expressed her disagreement with a lot of the documentary’s inaccuracies and explained that when she was being interviewed she had no knowledge of the decision to make Cleopatra, the Ptolemys and the rest of the Egyptians black
"You only say 'her truth' when you are lying"
True whenever it's used.
I love how this TH-camr JUST SAYS what we’re all thinking
hands down the very best video i've seen on this. thank you so much.
you know, can this start uniting us all on a world wide front to stop this stupid agenda once and for all?
What's funny is that Gal Gadot will be starring in a Cleopatra movie, and her casting flies in the face of all this nonsense.
Depends if its a historical drama or documentary
Gal Gadot, who is an Israeli woman and has the Mediterrenean features, looks much closer to what Cleopatra would have looked irl, that's for sure.
This programme is about as historically accurate as I'm Gonna Git You Sucka. They even got the bloody sword wrong! She is using a falcata which was actually invented by Iberian celts.
Not a single person on the show cared about accuracy
"...that he sounds like he belongs in slytherin" xD that's pure gold man lmao
This guy is the goat
Egypt and Greece need to speak out about this self evidently racist shit.😠😠😠😠
They are, I believe there’s a lawsuit filed against Netflix from someone in Egypt.
Didn't you watch the video? An Egyptian professor did.
@@andreas956 In which case I must have missed it. Clearly. 🙄
I still can’t believe they had the audacity to get mad at Egypt😭😭 It’s their history, who are you to tell them that their own history is wrong!
The mental gymnastics of these people surprise me
@@tekaruki8899😂 am from West Africa am feed up with how most black Americans think its like they are from a different planet entirely most of them claim they want African representation but they have never been to Africa and know nothing about Africa
You are a treasure to sane people everywhere. Keep up the great work bro.
Man I feel so sorry for Will Smith
There should be a petition to get Will Smith his balls back.
Dont feel sorry for him..he is as arrogant as she is. They deserve each other.
I remember when my grandmother told me “no matter what school tells you, Barack Obama was white.” Those wise words have changed my life
I can't explain to you how much I appreciate your Ricky and Karl edits. 😂 excellent stuff as usual 😊
The Inbetweeners stuff is hilarious, as well.
Reaper has done more research into the experts than the producers of this show did into the history of Egypt.
😂😂 yeesssss
Do these "historians" not realize that the Julian calendar was largely motivated to ensure the calendar was fixed to stay more aligned with growing seasons totally irrelevant in Egypt? And that the Egyptian calendar continued to have issues the Julian fixed, until Augustus forced calendar reforms upon them following Cleopatra's death? And it was Sosigenes of Alexandria (there's a hint somewhere in that name) who helped Julius with calculations?
My god the way you curse on your script is truly a masterpiece, the only thing that bothers me is that I don't know this channel sooner. Also, your research is outstanding. Keep it up!
Even known the show and or movie is hard to stomach, it feels like Christmas morning to have Reaper and Critical Drinker roast it. 😂
Drinker is aware of how great this channel is as well, hopefully I get to see you on his livestream someday, your takes on the current content are gold!
Oh man that would be awesome 👍✊🤝
Most underrated channel on TH-cam. You deserve so many more subscribers
Give him time, he is slowly getting more subs anyway. It might be too blunt and crass for some but that is why i love it, i found it searching for Velma reviews and the way he insulted so much made me laugh
for anyone who thinks she was mixed race, cleopatra was inbred as well, i'm surprised no one has mentioned this lol
@@JB-lp9xr Even funnier is that most Egyptian dynasties were so inbred the Hapsburgs would look like genetic marvels when compared to them.
@@Fregler did you learn that or did your grandma tell you?
@Eugene_Black Ancient Egyptian dynasties were extremely inbred. that's a fact. Although it'd need more evidence if they were any more or less inbred than the hapsburgs.
When someone makes it all about race, they're never white European.
This review was amazing. Unlike the monsters who made this utter filth, you were accurate and entertaining.
I never thought the woke media infection has already spreaded this far. First Ghostbusters 2016 then star wars after that live action Disney remakes/marvel and now documentaries. Thank God I'll be leaving for basic training camp.
Mr Reaper as a future Army National Gaurd I just want to thank you for your service for watching God awful woke propaganda movies. Your videos have been hilariously and inspiring proof that TH-cam still hasn't let the woke DIEsease infect good content creators. Every since obi won kenobi I've been watching your videos, being aware on what horrors the woke media has damaged. I salute to you soilder for making my day feel like a Stallion.
It sucks booty cheeks that TH-cam(or a hacker) deleted most of your videos. I was planning on watching why she-hulk is dog shite before I go.
Goddamn, man. This one was absolutely savage, major props!
Listen videos like these definitely need so much more views it’s calling out the bullshit that these people throw at us and I love the move of showing us who the “experts” actually are
